Of the night-journey,—not much sleep,—perhaps,

Your thoughts were on before you—yes, indeed,

You join them, being happily awake

With thought's sole object as she smiling sits

At breakfast-table. I shall dodge meantime

In and out station-precinct, wile away

The hour till up my engine pants and smokes.

No doubt, she goes to fetch you. Never fear!

She gets no glance at me, who shame such saints!"
